What's Inside the Building Tom Hanks Calls the Most Terrifying in the World? 

Heroes: The villain's lair could be anywhere. The villain's lair:

It can withstand a Nuclear blast? Sounds like government to me.

"This tower doesn't have any windows" "Ah, yes, the Apple Tower"

I love how nobody has any questions regarding a tower meant to withstand a nuclear blast on the middle of the city

It's like everybody in New York just noticed this building existed.

So, basically, it IS the "Men in Black" building.

"Oh its nothing scary" "It's just where AT&T and the NSA exchange public information in a nuclear proof building"

Plot Twist: the building has rockets and can launch into orbit 💫

Is nobody else freaking out about the fact that theres a random creepy building thats been there for decades and isn’t a tourist attraction rather just there, ignored as it should be

It has no windows but I bet it can see everything that goes on around it for miles.

I saw a building similar to this outside my hotel room window in New Orleans. It had no windows which was scary, but nighttime was the scariest part because all the other skyscrapers were brightly lit and the windowless building was completely dark except for the red aviation light on top. I wonder the building has a similar purpose as the one in New York.

It's called Brutalist architecture. It's not new, but it's always interesting to see one of these specimens.

If ever there was a building asking for graffiti this it.

AT&T is just the front.

It’s called a “Wire Heap”. There’s one in LA on Wilshire and one in Seattle on 4th Ave. Without them, no internet for you.

There is a building like this in San Francisco also. Tall af no windows, can’t remember if I seen big vents tho

thats where they hide the krabby patty secret formula

Their light bill must be through the roof!

I was gonna say, that's awfully big for an ATT CO. They have one in San Jose that's only 5 stories. So Tom Hanks is right. It is the scariest building in the world because they're literally spying on everyone in there.

Almost every Pokémon antagonist HQ in a nutshell.

Looks like a glimpse of a dystopian world that exists parallel to ours.

Man: omg let me in a nuke is about to go off! Security: you got AT&T? Man: no Security: enjoy the nuke

Play “Control”. It’ll answer all your questions.

It houses communications; maybe it's "scary" because it protects the contents. The first thing to go in war, is communications...

It hides: Victorias secret Obamas last name Who Joe is What the fox says The password to my old PS3 account GTA 6 Who let the dogs out Etc

Seems like it’s only noticed when someone famous said something about it

It’s funny how many ppl is aware of how suspicious that building is compared to how many ppl probably go in it and leave out,

Good thing you broadcasted to the world about the secret building where it's located and how important it is.

Imagine the idea of people just “noticing” a skyscraper. No they know it’s there for decades, but no body had the time to think of a random building with no single window standing the middle of other skyscrapers. Weird what happens sometimes.

Let's raid this building instead of area 51👌

To be fair, if it's connected to both AT&T and the NSA, it's not unreasonable to say that it's just used as both a communications center and also used to spy for suspicious activity going on.

What could scare Tom Hanks more than the place were they keep track of his browsing history?

The building has been there over 50 years(construction started in 1969). It is actually an NSA spyhub or surveillance site which is owned by AT&T and houses computers and phone equipment and a special gateway switch that routes calls to/from USA to other countries etc. It is known as TITANPOINTE. I use to go inside down in the 3rd level basement to deliver cookies and muffins twice/week about 25 years ago in my company van on a truck elevator. It was just as scary/bland inside as it was from the outside. I remember it always being chilly.

Plot twist, the entire exterior is all one way glass.

There’s a building like this in Chicago, about 25 stories tall. No windows and it’s also owned by AT&T

This building might have been better off without people knowing it existed 😂 great job Tom…

When I was in the Navy, I and some of my shipmates were walking down a street in Manhattan. We noticed that people seemed to be in their own little world, not noticing what was going-on around them. One of my companions bet that he could unzip his fly and walk six blocks with his stuff hanging-out and nobody would comment. He won his beer.

I'm more concerned with the fact that the nsa shares a building with one of the largest phone companies and actually says on the record that it's one of their listening sites.....think i might be switching companies

In Sydney Australia, we have two buildings exactly like this too! Except it's much more narrow. Creepy AF, no windows

Hes scared bc he thinks Chris Hansen is in there

"The ministry of love was the really frightening one. There were no windows in it at all" - george Orwell, 1984 chapter 1 page 7

No telling what's inside. Evil likes to hide in plain sight 🤔

AT&T still needs to work on their coverage. I only have 1-2 bars in my area. Been a loyal customer for 20+ years

I don’t know what’s worse, a nuclear blast or AT&T surviving said blast.

6ix9ine will tell you what goes on in there

This is where ALL of our conversations and personal data from our cell phones is stored.

Nuclear-bomb-proof, but also very sensitive to sunlight and changes in air temperature.

The scary part is that the world was waiting for Tom Hanks to notice it as if before it wasn't there!

Imagine they lying and that’s actually the entrance for the MIB

33 Thomas st keep that in mind for the apocalypse

Nah the most terrifying one is on Lolita Island where he did his deed as a member of peedowood

*When a nuclear explosion does happen* AT&T: Who ever uses AT&T can get in.

it is not a scary place, is just a place where shady stuff happens, like invading peoples privacy, creeping on people etc

why have i never heard of this before?

its amazing how this building just existed and no one payed attention to it despite how obviously strange it is

I knew someone who worked as an “Experimental Psychotropic Technology Expert” at that building and was required to have a Neuroscience Degree. Why ATT would need that kind of employee in a covered building is a whole question. I sleep better not thinking about what goes on in there.

This building is a throw off..it's the building next door with Windows u should be worried about.

Perfect building for bird box.

At first, I wasn't sure why they thought the building was terrifying. But when they said it has no windows, I looked closer and I was like oh snap dang that is scary.

I like the fact the message was more like " What is it ? " rather than let's go inside and figure out . American media ignorance is a bliss .

Imagine having a party inside, then going out just to find out it got nuked

I was about to say it was the SCP Foundation's Headquarters.

Thank you inside edition for solving this important mystery

If I remember correctly. That building now helps direct calls and serves as a large internet hub.

Architect: how dystopian do you want it? Project management: yes.

plot twist: they got those informations from the government

He said there was 29 floors ! How can you tell how many floors there is if there ain’t any windows on it 😮

Tom Hanks: Makes a harmless joke LIterally everyone else: And I took that personally

Forrest Gump: Mama says they was magic shoes. They could take me anywhere...except for that creepy AT&T building in lower Manhattan!

AT&T doesn't have any windows 😂😂😂👌

Inside Edition: This is the building NYC communications infrastructure is housed. Here's it's exact location. Knock 3 times in 3 second intervals and yell "I'm here for the custom drapes"---- a guard will let you in

I always wondered what was in that building as I walk by it twice a day at least everyday for the last 10 years or so.. interesting the NSA.. Pretty close to what I thought

Momma always said them buildings was scary

thats sounds like something men in black would say to cover their hq

It's obviously a torture prison

Yay I guessed from the thumbnail. I worked as a technician and they had central offices throughout neighborhoods. No windows, always looked like the same brick buildings.

“33” Thomas street. That’s all you need to know...

"AT&T" just what the aliens want us to think

I live in Fresno CA, there’s an ATT building downtown also with no windows

It was built by AT&T as a main telco aggregation and switching point, which it is still used for today. The lack of windows not only hardens the building against damage but also allows for a much greater control of HVAC without the sun adding to the load. The building also houses some pretty substantial data center infrastructure. You're not getting in there without clearance or a guest pass by one of the tenants and rightfully so, it is still one of the nuclei for telecommunications in Manhattan.

Probably Apple's headquarters... get it? Because they don't like windows... No? Ok I'm going... peace out! 😂✌

I’ve been to NYC 500 times and never knew this building existed.

First time I ever heard of it's existence. I had a dream where I was an invisible monitor like most of them. That building is familiar but the land surrounding it was desert and windy. -The buildings were far apart but in eyesight of each other. All of them identical to that one. There was only one female I can remember and her robot horse. Each building served a different purpose. She had to go from one to the other often fighting the extreme element outside.

Love how people in Newyork passed this building tons of times and never ask why is the building look like this.

AT&T my ass. servers

Just a big ass data center for the Feds Move along

When your internet provider knows something you don’t.

Bruh thats the ecorp recovery building from mr robot

I imagine that's what the building in the horror game "Control" looks like and it holds scary objects of power.

This reminds me of a condo in the city I use to live in with sealed shut windows and bars over it and a random basketball hoop in the backyard but I never saw anyone enter or exit the condo

I didn’t know I could be terrified of a building until I saw this one. It’s rather ominous

Yeah AT&T, of course That's why it's built to survive nuclear explosions and it has no windows

That's is the Department Of Control.

1:43 Lucky, he was the only one that got to see inside.

Fun Fact: The AT&T building would become the inspiration of the Oldest House from the Remedy Entertainment game, Control.

that where the aliens controls the government

That's actually the Oldest House and it's the headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Control

I've lived in nyc for 11 years I've never noticed this building in Manhattan

Wow, I have an apartment in Manhattan and have seen the building before and never heard anything about it before.

THE ADDRESS IS 33... ENOUGH SAID
